In this interactive session, students and graduates will be able to ask all their questions to a guest speaker who has a lot of experience hiring staff at all levels.

Interview skills

In this workshop, you will learn what’s being evaluated in a face-to-face interview, what are the main questions you are likely to be asked and how to answer them. We will also cover time delayed interviews where you will be asked to record answers to your questions before you get invited to a face-to-face interview.
Interview practice
Tuesday 30 April, 3.30pm-5.30pm
In this workshop, you will get the opportunity to participate in a mock interview and gain helpful feedback from industry experts. Registrations are essential.
Guest speaker session
Tuesday 7 May, 3.30pm-5.00pm
Following on from the interview sessions, this session will be focused on the graduates who answered questions well and answers which could have been improved. You will also be able to bring your own questions to ask about interview skills. This session is a must for those who are getting to the interview stage but not receiving an offer.
Networking and LinkedIn
Tuesday 14 May, 3.30pm-5.00pm
Many international students and migrants struggle with networking. Many are unsure about how to talk and approach strangers appropriately, how to introduce themselves and what do they need to do to hear about job opportunities. This workshop will cover many aspects of networking including LinkedIn: small talk, using your pitch, listen more and talk less, and other hints and tips that you help you in any professional meeting or event.
Australian business culture
Tuesday 21 May, 3.30pm-5.00pm
Business etiquette, or what’s acceptable and expected in a professional environment, varies from country to country. As a result, sometimes people will make mistakes which are not understood nor accepted, and it could create a negative first impression. In this workshop, you will learn about the main cultural differences found in Australian workplaces and some very practical tips that will help you fit into a new workplace environment. You will learn top tips to help you in your journey at work in Australia.
Your first 100 days in the new job
Tuesday 28 May, 3.30pm-5.00pm
Graduates often ask us three main questions: How do I get a job? How do I keep a job? How do I get promoted? All these questions are directly related to what employers expect of their staff. This workshop will cover time management, negotiating at work and key performance indicators. This is a must attend for those wanting to progress in their careers in Australia.

Thursday 30 May, 3.30pm-5.00pm

There will be a short presentation, followed by questions from the audience which students may submit beforehand, so the session is as tailored to your needs as possible. Main areas covered will be related to business culture, customs, and practices common to the Australian workplace.
